Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta and his firm Legorreta and Legoretta have done an abundance of brash colorful buildings like this, the UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center from 2006. No problem! The earthy depth is a welcome jolt to the institutional anonymity of the UCSF Mission Bay campus around it. (Note: Ricardo Legorreta, died in 2011. His son continues to lead the firm.)
